love what the challenge and every Sunday I hope with the new challenge elderly. For me it is a bit difficult emotional food, because my work is difficult to eat when my body asks me, but I will strive to achieve. Thank you for your help. You’re the best.

Whoo! You’re using the dip bar again! I just bought it recently, and I have wanted it since May. I didn’t know if I was going to continue exercising, so I waited. I assembled it a couple days ago, and I also purchased the push up rings. I’m not following your current exercises since I started from the beginning, but I’m glad that you’re not just using it only for a couple of workouts.

Hi!

I stumbled unto your site and I am really interested in getting into shape through the routines posted daily. My question as a beginner, which would you recommend to start of, the most current (this week for instance) workout or some before. There is over 60+ pages and some earliest videos got removed, so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

sexy beast workout:)

Another common name for your “Prisoner Get Up” is called a “Surrender”.

Great workouts, keep it up.

2) 50

Ahoj Zuzana, prosím, já potřebovat vaši pomoc, první, já jsem Jay, já jsem 25, ale i hmotnost 120 kg, snažím se hubnout, ale nic se nezmění, prosím, pomoz mi, co mám dělat, prosím, Zuzana, já jsem čeká na vaši odpověď

For those of you that dont have a dip station I was able to use my treadmill by pulling myself up on the handles for reverse push ups, just a thought.

one word: Ouch. (But a good ouch, of course.)

i like your work.. i think you are very professional

Going to do this one tonight. Glad to see some more upper body exercises back in the workouts again, most of the recent ones have been focused on abs and lower body with upper body more as a stabiliser. I’ve been missing my push-ups!!! :)

Could you add the link to your older workout? It would be very helpful :)
Thank you,
Valerie

Hi Zuzana,

I have noticed you’re not wearing the new Skechers Shape-Ups shoes you purchased in your latest workouts. I have been looking at getting them for myself for a little while now, however I’m not sure if you’re just giving them a break or you found them uncomfortable? Did you find that they didn’t do what they claim to do?

Thanks,

Milena

I really liked this workout. Probably my favorite so far. Thanks Zuzana and Freddy.

Will you be posting pictures of your food diary everyday?

If you dont have a dip station or two chairs and broom stick thick enough, theres still other ways.

Tie rings/carbiners/or just loops in the rope to a doorway pull up bar. Done this for a while now, works nicely.

Use a sturdy table. just lie under it with your head sticking out one end and pull yourself up. Theres a pic of the author doing this on the you are your own gym facebook page.

gymnastics rings, rope and tree trunk, hanging off the chandelier (just kidding)

I allways admire this lady :)

You are the best! Nobody can better inspire then you!
Thanks for that:)

I still have them and I wear them casually – I just wanted nike for my workouts, because they are my favourite.

That’s a cool name :)

Bingo! :)

Hi Alena,

our site is currently in the process of redesign and this is just a temporary solution. If you want to start following our workouts, you can just jump right in and start following on a daily basis. There is no specific workout that you have to start with, just start by following this week’s workout schedule.

Great looking workout! I did your 400 reps work yesterday. I thought I was in pretty good shape.
it humbled me! But I’m committed. You are an inspiration! Suggestion: introduce more of the exercises in the book “You are your own Gym”.
Would be great to see them in proper form. Love yea.

The old workout name is SEXY BEAST WORKOUT, if anybody wants to know which one the original video was.

What is the name of this workout the first time you did it? so i can go back and search for it.

My Scores:
1)127
2)65
3)40
4)24

Keep the workouts coming, I’m loving it!!! Thank you guys.

Sexy beast workout!

Zuzana n Freddy
Great job on this workout! This was a tough one due to my obliques being extremely sore from previous workout: “sexy shape shifter workout”. Its my 1st time doing this workout and I could barely do those reversed push-ups (as an alternative to the Dip Station – I used my heavy kitchen table just got underneath it, held on to the edge and pulled myself up) My score totals of the 4 exercises in a row is: 124, 57, 46, 24.

Hello Zuzana,
Congratulations on your new website. It’s drastically different. However, I liked the older better.
If you get a chance, could you address my question : what should people do if they get skinny legs but the upper part still looks chubby?
I appreciate any help with this question form you guys.

Hi Olga,

This is not our new website, this is just an temporary blog and we are in a process of redesign. The new website should be up around October 18th.
The problematic parts will be the last area on your body where you will see improvements. That said you have to keep doing your workouts and pay attention to your diet. To make sure that the area of your body that you are concerned about is getting tight, you have to exercise at your maximum effort. So for example if you know that your butt needs to be more tightened, than make sure that the exercises that are targeting that area are always super intense. This is why we are always going for maximum reps during high intensity interval strength training or we are trying to complete the prescribed amount of reps during a Time Challenge.

Hi Zuzana,

I like Vega chocolate (protein) powder for a supplement: http://myvega.com/products/whole-food-health-optimizer/features-benefits

Good luck to you on your new food adventures! Like you’ve said before, you’ve gotta listen to your body and do what feels right. Sometimes there is just that beginning trial and error til you figure out exactly what “right” is for you. :-)

Hi Zuzana, I’ve just watched the video where you are talking about your new vegeterian diet and that you didn’t like the fact that you are loosing muscles. I think I have a solution for you, maybe you already know or follow all this, in this case it will be for other people I guess! Proteins that come from another source than meat are incomplete, which means that you can’t find the 8 essential amino acid at the same time (proteins are made of amino acids). If your body doesn’t have it, he cannot continue building muscles or even preserving them. This is why you are “melting”; your body is getting what he needs in the muscles. For a vegetarian, the solution is to combine in the same meal, in every meal (if possible), a legume (peas, beans, soya, peanuts, chickpeas, etc.) and a cereal (rice, wheat pasta, bread, etc.), so you eat at the same time at least the 8 essential amino acids and its like you are eating meat proteins. I hope it can be helpful and good luck with your new diet! P.S. I’m planning to try your workout soon… :)

Wow, awesome!! I didn’t have anything for reverse push ups, so I did bicycles instead. My scores…! Man I could feel my muscles burning after each set.

1. Dynamic Squat: 19, 19, 18, 18, 20, 14
2. Bicycle: 30, 27, 21, 23, 22, 24
3. Dive Bomber: 9, 8, 7, 4, 7, 7 (my form is a bit shaky on these)
4. Prisoner Get up: 4, 5, 3, 4, 4, 4

Woot!! Thanks guys =3 this is great!

if you drink some tea with about 2Tbsp of fresh aloevera gel from the plant, as a vegetarian this will give you strength. also, have some fresh green juice after your works that can provide you with some protein.

whoo! finished! I’m doing a special diet for new years. 3 day diet. high protein, no simple carb, but its low calorie. so i was kinda lacking strength today. but i did my best!

1. dynamic squat: 20/19.5/17/17/19/14
2. reverse pushup: 10/8/8/7/7/7
3. dive bomber: 5/6/4/7 (did 3 dive, then had to switch to regular)/3/4
4. prisoner get up (w/ 10lb weight): 5/5/4/5/4/6

shower time! see you guys tomorrow!
